This forum is for Audacity 2.x.x on Windows.Please state which version of Windows you are using, and the exact three-section version number of Audacity from "Help menu > About Audacity".

Audacity 1.2.x and 1.3.x are obsolete and no longer supported. If you still have those versions, please upgrade at https://www.audacityteam.org/download/.The old forums for those versions are now closed, but you can still read the archives of the 1.2.x and 1.3.x forums.

It's heresy to mention it here, but there are other free audio editors which are more user-friendly than Audacity, e.g. OCENaudio which has built-in chorus effect & can accept VST plugins.Unlike Audacity, OCENaudio doesn't do multi-track editing : Just one stereo-track.

treborwith regard to the info you passed on to me in your last post..........it was good info;thanks.

i would like to add some things i have learned about loading effects plugins into audacity.

1. i have d/loaded two effects ...chorus and vocal harmoniser into my downloads folder[ they appeared as zip files].

2. unzipped them with windows utility.

3. opened them [ they showed dll at the end which i am told is good]

4. r/c c: disk > program filesx86 > audacity > plugins.

5. from the folder containing the effects files i grabbed them and inserted into 'plugins'

6. in audacity i opened add/remove manager and the effects were in the 'new' box waiting to be enabled.

the chorus is great but i am having no luck with the harmoniser.it is called 'pitchproof' and i have tried varied and numerous settings but i cannot get it right..... am wondering if this was designed for guitar not vocal[ it was recommended though]

pitchproof is working in the sense it is responding to any changes to settings .......i just cannot seem to get the simple straightforward harmony/duet type setting.i checked out your link to the effects lists ....no harmoniser found there.

Kerovee is a free VST which can do pitch-correction, (aka auto-tune), & has 2 channels so can do duet/trio ...https://youtu.be/XT_WYjZnU4U?t=42sBear in mind it's old & a freebie : there are better VSTs but they co$t.
